Chapter 263: Inheritance (1/2)
Sam went to the imperial palace and met with the emperor. He is actually pretty frustrated because he didn't want to stay in this place. He is very much looking forward to going to his new place. But there is a boatload of things that are being thrown at him.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Arc came straight to the point.
”Do you remember the tower of will?”
Sam was surprised a bit, but he nodded his head.
”The tower of will is a part of the entrance test for the inheritance of a person named Murali. He is a very powerful cultivator on the whole planet and it was said that when he was in his prime, there are less than five people who are able to contend with him.
Apart from that, he has high mastery in Inscriptions, Paintings, and formation. His swordsmanship is highly efficient and difficult to master.”
Arc went on explaining these things. But seeing no reaction of Sam's face he said.
”As you might have known, due to his love for the continent he hailed from, Murali left the four towers as keys to his inheritance within the western continent, so that people here will have a high chance of attaining it.
And the tower of will, the last one of all the keys is recently cleared by you.
The remaining three are already cleared before you did and the successors are all currently at the same level.
All of you are in the Great realm.
One of them is my son, another one is a person from the Thunder god temple and the final person is a cultivator from a tribe that lives in the northern snow plain of Arian.
They don't react much with the outside world, but Murali had laid one tower in that area which gave them a chance to get their hands on one.
Generally, the inheritance only opens when all four people are in the Great realm. If anyone of them crosses the Great realm without entering the inheritance, the key they got from the inheritance tower will be gone and another person must clear the tower again.”
Sam was surprised because the info he got was different from this.
”Well, you might have heard that there is a chance that one can kill that person and get their inheritance key, but that is the trick of my father. He manipulated the information so that only people of our family can get their hands on the inheritance.
In this way, every time a chosen person died, then there is a chance for a new batch to get their hands on the key.”
Sam shook his head at his and asked.
”So, what should I do now?”
”Right now, all the candidates are ready to enter the inheritance place and for that, all of you have to activate the keys on the top floor of the tower.
When all the four towers are activated, you will be moved to the place of inheritance.”
”So, when do we need to go?”
”In fifteen days. On the fifteenth day from today exactly at midnight, you visit the tower and activate the key.”
Sam was a bit frustrated; he was never able to catch a break. And he doesn't know how long it will take if he went into the whole inheritance thing.
He doesn't know how to deal with the situation at all. Because he has to work on his upcoming big project.
After some thought, Sam heaved a sigh and agreed reluctantly, but after that, he has something else to say.
”I heard that I can bring five people along with me, is that correct?”
”Sure.”
”Then, I need that guy named Hawk. I think you might have known him. He is the son of Falcon Cliff count. I promised that I would take him to the inheritance, so please find him and send him to the Falcon Cliff city.
Apart from that, I have a proposal in which I need your approval.”
He then started explaining the new business project. The business project will have some certain large-scale constructions. So, he has to inform the government beforehand before he starts construction at a place, but if he can get the approval of the emperor himself, then he can save a lot of trouble for himself.
After explaining the whole situation, he said.
”Please give me back Sam's battalion. I heard they are conscripted into the military. I will pay for their release. They are some people I can trust a bit. So, I would be needing them.”
There is no need of many persuasions.
